I haven’t but I frequently pass by the giant Carvana vending machine tower and wonder what it would be like to buy your car that way.

I have no idea about the actually place. But given its name, I would avoid it like the plague.

Just bought a used truck for work through Carvana two months ago.
It was hands down the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. There’s no way I will ever step foot on a dealership again.
Seriously, I was very skeptical going in. I’d give it a 9 out of 10. My only complaint is that they didn’t give it to me for free. Everything else was top notch.
I bought a truck with 30k miles on it for about $6k less than I could find anywhere within 60 miles of me. Local dealerships were even higher.
I got the carfax, a full test drive and when I accepted the truck, they gave me a full week where I could call anytime no strings and they would come back and get it with absolutely no charge.
Carvana and companies like it will hasten the death of car dealerships.

Don’t know what that means but I did post there for the first time this week. Had to vent with the insanity of the last week. Doubt I will go back over there much in the future. Can’t really say it is a place for healthy debate.

Best car buying experience I’ve ever had. They drop it off at your house for 7 days to let you get a feel for it, then you decide if you want to return it or roll with it. They handle all the financing which was very competitive. They Even did the work to get my plates to me within a week.

Will def use again

Yeah. I planned to handle financing through my bank because I usually get great rates. Carvana even gave me a better rate so I went through them. Ive bought lots of cars and never finance through the dealerships.
It really is a hassle free experience.

I think so.
That’s all I was looking for when I searched. Wanted a slightly used work truck. Found tons of options but never searched for other inventory.

Is the price online the price you pay or can you negotiate? I looked at a few and they seem priced a little high to me.

No haggle pricing... You pay for the convenience. To many its worth it not having to sit at a dealer spending half your day in negotiations.

I did, but sent it back.

The process was amazing. Easy and convenient.

However the vehicle had been wrecked even though it had a clean carfax. They have a recoditioning department that will make a dog look good.

I had a good buddy sell a car to Carvana and it took 30 mins. He dropped it off, quick inspection done and they cut him a check for it. He said it was great.

They gave him $1900 more than Carmax offered on a $15,000 car.

Took a look...those prices man. Yeesh.

They value most of their inventory at least $2k above dealer retail value.

I've often had candy bars come out damaged from the fall in a vending machine. I'd assume the cars get messed up from time to time in the same manner. No thanks.

I'm seeing this exact review frequently online now. It's a smooth process but seems like a lot of undisclosed problems with some of the vehicles.

You know every dealer in the country prefers for you to not haggle over the price.
